Blankenheim/Mechernich – Following the successful collaboration with the Indian Samaritan Sisters since 2010, another milestone has now been reached: at the beginning of May, three African Holy Spirit Sisters from Kenya and Tanzania moved into the Centro Communio in Blankenheim.

In future, they will provide care and support for the elderly residents at Haus Effata, the care home run by Sozialwerk Communio in Christo e.V. Two of them were able to start straight away, whilst the third sister is still focusing on learning German.

This was preceded by intensive discussions with the Order’s General Leadership in Königstein-Mammolshain in the Taunus region. It quickly became apparent that the spirituality of the Sisters of the Holy Spirit and that of Communio in Christo are very much in harmony. To ensure that the nuns feel completely at home in their new residence, the social welfare organisation – their future employer – had the upper residential area of the Centro extensively renovated and modernised in advance.

At the beginning of May, the sisters celebrated the official inauguration together with the community from Mechernich, led by the Superior General, Father Jaison Thazhathil. A get-together afterwards provided an opportunity for everyone to get to know one another.
